"Our sales prices may vary depending on how much of a product a customer needs, how much we have, and how much the industry has. We index our sales prices against the average published price of a product, and Diver allows us to sort through customers and products and accurately measure how sales returns compare between customers across varied market conditions. Given the commodity nature of our products, analyzing data with Diver allows salespeople to evaluate opportunities. If we have an opportunity to sell a scarce product to a new customer, we have to decide whom we won't sell to in the future. Diver helps us determine how a sale relates to the rest of the customer base."

"We gathered detailed cost information from the plant sites and tapped into our invoicing systems to gather information regarding which customer bought what goods, on what date, and at what price. We integrated these basic data feeds into a large data warehouse (Unix/Sybase). From that integrated data warehouse we built end-user focused DI Model 'Data Marts' and distributed them to regional servers for high-speed end-user access. The project was a big success because it accomplished the goal of providing an integrated way for people with different perspectives to analyze a consistent set of data."
